The Ravens and Diontae Johnson saga has taken another twist.

Three days after Baltimore parted ways with the disgruntled wide receiver, the Houston Texas claimed the 28-year-old veteran off waivers. The Ravens play the Texans in Houston on Christmas Day.

It marks the fourth team for Johnson since March after he was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Carolina Panthers, where he spent the first seven games this season before being dealt to the Ravens a week before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Houston’s wide receiver corps has been decimated, with Tank Dell the latest to suffer a significant injury after he dislocated his knee and tore his ACL on Sunday in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Houston is already without receiver and former Maryland star Stefon Diggs, whose season is over after suffering a torn ACL in late October, and John Metchie has been dealing with a shoulder injury this week, though he told reporters Monday that he is “ready to go” for the Christmas tilt against the Ravens. Veteran Robert Woods is the Texans’ next-best receiver with 16 catches for 143 yards.

Johnson’s stint with the Ravens was as short as it was an abject disaster.

He appeared in just four games for Baltimore, refused to go into a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a statement from general manager Eric DeCosta, and was suspended for their game against the New York Giants. He was excused from team activities after his suspension before being waived last week.

Johnson played just 39 offensive snaps for the Ravens and had one catch for 6 yards. He is set to be a free agent this offseason.

Meanwhile, the Ravens claimed former Texans receiver Steven Sims off waivers. He appeared in seven games for Houston this season and played 63 snaps on special teams and just 10 on offense, failing to catch a pass.

Ravens fans will remember Sims. He returned a punt 67 yards for a touchdown in last season’s divisional round playoff game that Baltimore went on to win, 34-10.
